Time Machine

Here is a testament to the power of music:

I was sitting in the truck at the A's game, waiting.

I decide to play Sweet Honey in the Rock's song 'Ode to the International Debt'. Which i hadn't listened to in a while. Suddenly tears are streaming down my face. I am transported back in time...I had forgotten Edie and I had gone to see Sweet Honey in the Rock at Zellerbach over 10 years ago. Earlier that same day I had hugged my Dad in the hospital knowing he was going to die. I had never cried so much at a concert before or since.  Wow, i got caught off guard.

We are powerless to the evocative power of music to reconnect us with both good and bad memories.
